Lucid dreaming is great for your mental health

You yourself said you aren't even an expert. Can you link to some studies that actually explore how lucid reaming affects mental health?

As others have mentioned, a great idea for a new video series would be unboxings of antiquated mathematical devices that have today been superseded by electronic/handheld versions, such as the abacus, slide rule, log tables, etc. This would be a great way to teach mathematical history and progress IMO.

It needs to be said again; do not buy this until reviews are out. It might be great, but chances are it's a flop or a scam.

So basically, you're telling us nothing here. You gave no details about the techniques you used to try to minimise motion sickness, you just made a clickbait-buzzword claim as a publicity stunt to hype your game. It's not even the advertising that's the problem, it's the lying and misdirection. You just had to post in /r/gaming or /r/gamedev that you made a VR game with a novel movement mechanic that helps reduce motion sickness for some people in some scenarios, not some bullshit fame-seeking post in /r/IAmA.

Also just wondering, are you a native English speaker? You throw random technical terms and buzz words around like a PR person would, not a dev. Most of them don't make sense, but if you're not a native speaker that would explain it.

I think the ones that denied you would be for the reasons I listed - your post comes across as very "check out our game which you should buy because it has cool feature X", instead of talking about what would be interesting which is the motion sickness stuff.

No need to be sorry that you aren't a native speaker, it was just interesting how you phrased some of the things you said, it made it seem like you were marketing the game and weren't really a dev. For example you just said "full game demo". Well, that's an oxymoron. Is it the full game? Or is it a demo? It can't be both. This is typically language used by PR people to confuse people and upsell their product, which is why I commented on it.
